Wow I am stoopid.

[ticks]

I went grouse hunting today flushed them all over the place. My dad's friend got one. My dad and him shot at and missed woodcock. So the dog is on point. Up flies a beautiful grouse that pretty much anyshot would hit. I pull up pull the trigger and I forgot to turn the saftey off.
I have wanted to shoot a grouse for YEARS. I just blew the perfect chance.

Oh man, What a bummer though. Don't beat yourself up over it though, you will get another chance I am sure.

 

[enjoy the ride]

But still so much better than the opposite- not having the safty on when it should be.
Just think of that missed grouse making little babies for next year.

Thanks, I am going back out after lunch I've still got till December 31st to shoot one.

LOL f3

deer can be scary.....when there minds are missing..LOL

Don't feel bad. I've tried to pull the trigger with the safety on more than once. It's better than accidently pulling the trigger with the safety off.

Thanks I went for an afternoon hunt, scared one behind me that my god flushed one behind me and my dad shot her, a small hen with a huge fan, and I missed one. But I got a shot
